新约 -- 希伯来书(Hebrews) -- 第 11 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
11:1 信就是所望之事的实底，是未见之事的确据。
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
11:2 古人在这信上得了美好的证据。
For by it the elders obtained a good report.
11:3 我们因着信，就知道诸世界是藉神话造成的。这样，所看见的，并不是从显然之物造出来的。
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
11:4 亚伯因着献祭与神，比该隐所献的更美，因此便得了称义的见证，就是神指他礼物作的见证。他虽然死了，却因这信仍旧说话。
By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
11:5 以诺因着信被接去，不至于见死。人也找不着他，因为神已经把他接去了。只是他被接去以先，已经得了神喜悦他的明证。
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
11:6 人非有信就不能得神的喜悦。因为到神面前来的人，必须信有神，且信他赏赐那寻求他的人。
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
11:7 挪亚因着信，既蒙神指示他未见的事，动了敬畏的心，豫备了一只方舟，使他全家得救。因此就定了那世代的罪，自己也承受了那从信而来的义。
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
11:8 亚伯拉罕因着信，蒙召的时候，就遵命出去，往将来要得为业的地方去。出去的时候，还不知往那里去。
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
11:9 他因着信，就在所应许之地作客，好像在异地居住帐棚，与那同蒙一个应许的以撒，雅各一样。
By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
11:10 因为他等候那座有根基的城，就是神所经营所建造的。
For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11:11 因着信，连撒拉自己，虽然过了生育的岁数，还能怀孕。因他以为那应许他的是可信的。
Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
11:12 所以从一个彷佛已死的人就生出子孙，如同天上的星那样众多，海边的沙那样无数。
Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
11:13 这些人都是存着信心死的，并没有得着所应许的，却从远处望见，且欢喜迎接，又承认自己在世上是客旅，是寄居的。
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
11:14 说这样话的人，是表明自己要找一个家乡。
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
11:15 他们若想念所离开的家乡，还有可以回去的机会。
And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
11:16 他们却渴望一个更美的家乡，就是在天上的。所以神被称为他们的神，并不以为耻。因为他已经给他们豫备了一座城。
But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
11:17 亚伯拉罕因着信，被试验的时候，就把以撒献上。这便是那欢喜领受应许的，将自己独生的儿子献上。
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
11:18 论到这儿子曾有话说，从以撒生的才要称为你的后裔。
Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
11:19 他以为神还能叫人从死里复活。他也彷佛从死中得回他的儿子来。
Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
11:20 以撒因着信，就指着将来的事，给雅各以扫祝福。
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
11:21 雅各因着信，临死的时候，给约瑟的两个儿子各自祝福，扶着杖头敬拜神。
By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
11:22 约瑟因着信，临终的时候，题到以色列族将来要出埃及，并为自己的骸骨留下遗命。
By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel
11:23 摩西生下来，他的父母见他是个俊美的孩子，就因着信把他藏了三个月，并不怕王命。
By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
11:24 摩西因着信，长大了就不肯称为法老女儿之子。
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
11:25 他宁可和神的百姓同受苦害，也不愿暂时享受有偏差的享乐。
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
11:26 他看为基督受的凌辱，比埃及的财物更宝贵。因他想望所要得的赏赐。
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt
11:27 他因着信就离开埃及，不怕王怒。因为他恒心忍耐，如同看见那不能看见的主）。
By faith he forsook Egypt
11:28 他因着信，就守逾越节，（守或作立）行洒血的礼，免得那灭长子的临近以色列人。
Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
11:29 他们因着信，过红海如行乾地。埃及人试着要过去，就被吞灭了。
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
11:30 以色列人因着信，围绕耶利哥城七日，城墙就倒塌了。
By faith the walls of Jericho
11:31 妓女喇合因着信，曾和和平平的接待探子，就不与那些不顺从的人一同灭亡。
By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
11:32 我又何必再说呢。若一一细说，基甸，巴拉，叁孙，耶弗他，大卫，撒母耳，和众先知的事，时候就不够了。
And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
11:33 他们因着信，制伏了敌国，行了公义，得了应许，堵了狮子的口。
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
11:34 灭了烈火的猛势，脱了刀剑的锋刃，软弱变为刚强，争战显出勇敢，打退外邦的全军。
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
11:35 有妇人得自己的死人复活，又有人忍受严刑，不肯苟且得释放，（释放原文作赎）为要得着更美的复活。
Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
11:36 又有人忍受戏弄，鞭打，捆锁，监禁，各等的磨炼。
And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
11:37 被石头打死，被锯锯死，受试探，被刀杀。披着绵羊山羊的皮各处奔跑，受穷乏，患难，苦害。
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
11:38 在旷野，山岭，山洞，地穴，飘流无定。本是世界不配有的人。
(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
11:39 这些人都是因信得了美好的证据，却仍未得着所应许的。
And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
11:40 因为神给我们豫备了更美的事，叫他们若不与我们同得，就不能完全。
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
新约 -- 希伯来书(Hebrews) -- 第 12 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
12:1 我们既有这许多的见证人，如同云彩围着我们，就当放下各样的重担，脱去容易缠累我们的偏差，存心忍耐，奔那摆在我们前头的路程，
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
12:2 仰望为我们信心创始成终的耶稣。（或作仰望那将真道创始成终的耶稣）他因那摆在前头的喜乐，就轻看羞辱，忍受了十字架的苦难，便坐在神宝座的右边。
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
12:3 那忍受有偏差的人这样顶撞的，你们要思想，免得疲倦灰心。
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
12:4 你们与偏差相争，还没有抵挡到留血的地步。
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
12:5 你们又忘了那劝你们如同劝儿子的话，说，我儿，你不可轻看主的管教，被他责备的时候，也不可灰心。
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
12:6 因为主所爱的他必管教，又鞭打凡所收纳的儿子。
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
12:7 你们所忍受的，是神管教你们，待你们如同待儿子。焉有儿子不被父亲管教的呢。
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
12:8 管教原是众子所共受的，你们若不受管教，就是私子，不是儿子了。
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
12:9 再者，我们曾有生身的父管教我们，我们尚且敬重他，何况万灵的父，我们岂不更当顺服他得生吗。
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
12:10 生身的父都是暂随己意管教我们。惟有万灵的父管教我们，是要我们得益处，使我们在他的圣洁上有分。
For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
12:11 凡管教的事，当时不觉得快乐，凡觉得愁苦。后来却为那经练过的人，结出平安的果子，就是义。
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
12:12 所以你们要把下垂的手，发酸的腿，梃起来。
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
12:13 也要为自己的脚把道路修直了，使瘸子不至歪脚，反得痊愈。（歪脚或作差路）
And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
12:14 你们要追求与众人和睦，并要追求圣洁。非圣洁没有人能见主。
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
12:15 又要谨慎，恐怕有人失了神的恩。恐怕有毒根生出来扰乱你们，因此叫众人沾染污秽。
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
12:16 恐怕有淫乱的，有贪恋世俗如以扫的。他因一点食物把自己长子的名分卖了。
Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
12:17 后来想要承受父所祝的福，竟被弃绝，虽然号哭切求，却得不着门路，使他父亲的心意回转，这是你们知道的。
For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
12:18 你们原不是来到那能摸的山，此山有火焰，密云，黑暗，暴风，
For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
12:19 角声与说话的声音。那些听见这声音的。都求不要再向他们说话。
And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
12:20 因为他们当不起所命他们的话说，靠近这山的，既便是走兽，也要用石头打死。
(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
12:21 所见的极其可怕，甚至摩西说，我甚是恐惧战竞。
And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
12:22 你们乃是来到锡安山，永生神的城邑，就是天上的耶路撒冷。那里有千万的天使，
But ye are come unto mount Sion , and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem
12:23 有名录在天上诸长子之会所共聚的总会，有审判众人的神，和被成全之义人的灵魂。
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
12:24 并新约的中保耶稣，以及所洒的血。这血所说的比亚伯的血所说的更美。
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
12:25 你们总要谨慎，不可弃绝那向你们说话的。因为那些弃绝在地上警戒他们的，尚且不能逃脱，何况我们违背那从天上警戒我们的呢。
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
12:26 当时他的声音震动了地。但如今他应许说，再一次我不单要震动地，还要震动天。
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
12:27 这再一次的话，是指明被震动的，就是受造之物，都要挪去，使那不被震动的常存。
And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
12:28 所以我们既得了不能震动的国，就当感恩，照神所喜悦的，用虔诚敬畏的心事奉神。
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
12:29 因为我们的神乃是烈火。
For our God is a consuming fire.
新约 -- 希伯来书(Hebrews) -- 第 13 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
13:1 你们务要存弟兄相爱的心。
Let brotherly love continue.
13:2 不可忘记用爱心接待客旅。因为曾有接待客旅的，不知不觉就接待了天使。
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
13:3 你们要记念被捆绑的人，好像与他们同受捆绑，也要记念遭苦害的人，想到自己也在肉身之内。
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
13:4 婚姻，人人都当尊重，床也不可污秽。因为苟合行淫的人神必要审判。
Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
13:5 你们存心不可贪爱钱财。要以自己所有的为足。因为主曾说，我总不撇下你，也不丢去你。
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
13:6 所以我们可以放胆说，主是帮助我的，我必不惧怕。人能把我怎吗样呢。
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
13:7 从前引导你们，传神之道给你们的人，你们要想念他们，效法他们的信心，留心看他们为人的结局。
Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
13:8 耶稣基督，昨日今日一直到永远是一样的。
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
13:9 你们不要被那诸般怪异的教训勾引了去。因为人心靠恩得坚固才是好的。并不是靠饮食。那在饮食上专心的，从来没有得着益处。
Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
13:10 我们有一祭坛，上面的祭物是那些在帐幕中供职的人不可同吃的。
We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
13:11 原来牲畜的血，被大祭司带入圣所作赎偏祭，牲畜的身子，被烧在营外。
For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
13:12 所以耶稣，要用自己的血叫百姓成圣，也就在城门外受苦。
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13:13 这样，我们也当出到营外就了他去，忍受他所受的凌辱。
Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
13:14 我们在这里本没有常存的城，乃是寻求那将来的城。
For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
13:15 我们应当靠着耶稣，常常以颂赞为祭献给神，这就是那承认主名之人嘴唇的果子。
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
13:16 只是不可忘记行善，和捐输的事。因为这样的祭，是神所喜悦的。
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
13:17 你们要依从那些引导你们的，且要顺服。因他们为你们的灵魂时刻儆醒，好像那将来交账的人。你们要使他们交的时候有快乐，不至忧愁。若忧愁就与你们无益了。
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
13:18 请你们为我们祷告。因我们自觉良心无亏，愿意凡事按正道而行。
Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
13:19 我更求你们为我祷告，使我快些回到你们那里去。
But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
13:20 但愿赐平安的神，就是那凭永约之血使群羊的大牧人我主耶稣，从死里复活的神，
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
13:21 在各样善事上，成全你们，叫你们遵行他的旨意，又藉着耶稣基督在你们心里行他所喜悦的事。愿荣耀归给他，直到永永远远。阿们。
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
13:22 弟兄们，我略略写给你们，望你们听我劝勉的话。
And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.
13:23 你们该知道我们的弟兄提摩太已经释放了。他若快来，我必同他夸见你们。
Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
13:24 请你们问引导你们的诸位和众圣徒安。从意大利来的人也问你们安。
Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy
13:25 愿恩惠常与你们众人同在。阿们。
